Liverpool, Barcelona lock horns in Champions League semis

Josep LAGO / AFP

Liverpool take on Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.

It's still doubtful if Reds' striker Roberto Firmino will start after he missed his side's Premier League win over Huddersfield last week with a muscle tear.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are on a high after sealing their 26th La Liga title on Saturday.

Kick-off from the Camp Nou is at 11:00 pm UAE time.
